Medico By JACK DALLAS | Times being what they are, the mere sight of a headline raises havoc with the soul of Susan Peters who has recently won her letter M, via Metro-GoldwynMayer's Random Harvest. Why do headlines ruffle Miss Peters? They ruffle her because, if there is anything the war effort could do with today (in bulk) , it is a good doctor. And a good doctor is what Susan Peters had her heart set on becoming until she met up with a man named Lee Sholem. She had graduated from Hollywood High and was paying a farewell visit to the campus to clean out her gym locker when a man wearing a white shirt with a Barrymore collar sidled up to her. "My name is Lee Sholem, and I like your looks." "My name is Susan Carnahan, and I haven't decided." "I'm a personal representative of Sol Lesser who is searching for the typical American girl." "Haven't they found her yet?" "If you'd care to be tested . . ." "Don't be silly. The number is Granite 5-3223. Just ask for the typical American girl." "Thank you." "It was nothing." Nothing was right. Or just about. She entered the typicalAmerican-girl sweepstakes, reached the finals, and was bested by another girl from Hollywood High, a Lois Ranson, currently appearing in Westerns. Susan would have forgotten the whole incident and returned to her castles in Spain, castles teeming with operating rooms filled with handsome male patients badly in need of swift and delicate surgery. And the only medico within miles being Dr. Susan Carnahan! But, alas! Susan Peters was all set for a great career in medicine, when she was side-tracked by a well-meaning talent scout. She's in Random Harvest Life had other plans for her, as she discovered the next morning when the postman rang. Susan was handed an important-looking letter, opened it, and discovered that she had won a scholarship to Max Reinhardt's School of the Drama. "Free things have always fascinated me" is how she explains deserting medicine for the theater. As an apprentice she was all right. Old man Reinhardt immediately tagged her as an American Elizabeth Bergner and while she never quite lived up to that description, she did turn in a good job in a Workshop production of Holiday, which was pretty sensational for a girl who almost flunked dramatics at Hollywood High. A spy who didn't know what a bad Lady Macbeth she had played in high school thought so too. He thought the Carnahan curves were equally sensational. He reported as much to his boss over at Warner Brothers, who sent Susan a wire inviting her to trek to Burbank and be tested. "The studio needs someone like you," cooed Dave Trilling, the casting director. "In fact, there's a spot for you in The Constant Nymph, one of our little twomillion dollar numbers. All we do is test you and . . ." She was tested right out of The Constant Nymph, but the studio decided to give her a contract anyhow, on the theory that she was worth $75 a week just to hang around the lot and look pretty. She certainly did little more than that. She displayed her topography, fleetingly, in Meet John Doe. In Santa Fe Trail, she married Ronald Reagan and cried with joy. After that the studio forgot she was around, let her option expire, and tossed her out into the cold. [Continued on page 63J 60
